ryd is a fast growing IoT / FinTech start-up from Munich. Founded in 2014, ryd puts the digital future on the road. ryd is a ... connected car platform focusing on ryd pay and ryd box. ryd pay is the largest cross-brand solution for mobile payments directly at the gas pump. The ryd box, an OBD2 connector, turns every car into a SmartCar. ryd makes driving better and more comfortable, whether at the gas station, for individuals and connected company fleets or as an innovative telematics solution for insurers. Partnering with Mastercard and Daimler AG in 2020 and joining forces with AXA Switzerland, we are onto a great momentum to change mobility and payment of the future. ryd pay is a European ecosystem. With ryd pay, payment is made directly via app at the fuel pump or in the car. Therefore, going into the petrol station shop becomes unnecessary. In addition to our own ryd app as a direct channel, we enable third parties such as navigation apps, in-car payment from car manufacturers or apps to use the pay@pump features via an API or SDK implementation. Our vision is to be exactly where the digital customer of our partners is. Currently ryd is available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and is preparing the Go-Live in Portugal, Spain, Benelux and the rest of Europe. read more
